Lula Star's New Zealand Family...

Here is a photo we received from Lula a couple of months ago. We couldn't wait to hear more about these cute little dollies with her! Lula Star arrived home to Dolltown in early August, after months of traveling, and living in Australia. And we heard the story ... At times, when she was gone, Lula was by herself...with only the noise of an air conditioner for company. So, on one of their journey adventures , to New Zealand, Lani and Fin got her some companions, an international adoption! They...

The Sport of Dolly Synchronized Swimming!

Lula and Faith, water ballet... Who knew? Well, I did. One of our favorite Doll Membership sites, Doll Observers has a monthly photo theme. And August's is Rio Olympic Sports! Now, what could we do for that? That's easy, I thought... Races! But Lula and Faith came to me and asked if they could wear our only two bathing suits and learn a routine. What kind of routine? Synchronized swimming! Well, how am I supposed to photograph that? I'll think about it... And while I was busy with other photo...

Friendships switch up...and dolls do, too

In Dolltown, friendship is important. Dolltown began because we decided to acquire friends for our vintage singletons! Some of our vintage were pairs, so they already had friends... two Dee an Cee Cindy dolls two Dee an Cee Drink and Wet babies But several did not.... one Terri Lee one Barbie one Dee an Cee child... I figured that all our dolls ought to have friends. So as the Dolltown characters started to arrive, they each naturally paired up with like minded others, or others in the same...

Our Little Darlings in Paris...Mystery Solved!

The Dolltown Children!

In July, the children came early to the Ice Cream party.... Then off they went on field trips with the Dolltown Summer Day Camp. Now they are back and we snapped some photos! The girls gathered around to tell me of their exciting adventures: wading in the creek acting out "Toy Story" (a Dolltown favorite!) picking apricots off the low branches And running away from the boys who were throwing ripe plums! "EWWWW!", they squealed. And the girls told on the boys right away so they wouldn't get...

No Wonder Xennia Wanted to Go to Bed! New Furniture!

In the attic we found some of our furniture made just for dolls. This white set goes right back to my own childhood, when they were painted pink. I loved it! My family was good at planning, making, and decorating furniture, full size and doll size. For my own children I repainted this set white with a fireweed trim, a favorite wild flower of mine. The Little Darlings discovered this set in the garden, fresh from a wash...
